STEM at Antelope Valley College

Currently, the majority of the funding for the Antelope Valley College STEM Program comes from federal grants. These grants not only provided the funds to institute the Antelope Valley College STEM Program, but they have also helped the program grow into what it has become today. These funds help to pay for numerous activities, such as community STEM event, faculty & staff salaries, and student projects, student worker positions within STEM areas on campus and bringing STEM awareness to the valley.
